The order to visit the spots is my own idea, so you could change it in favor. It is good for you to start your residential areas to go the spots. The sunset is early in spring, then you could go there in two days. By the way, the number of sakura trees is by the web site of Edogawa City Tokyo. And the roads to go the spots are recommended as they are safe. Please take care of riding bicycle to go to see the millions of sakura blossoms on the 4,000 trees in Edogawaku.

Now it starts from Nagisa Park in the east end of Sogo Recreation Park by the west bank of Kyuedogawa River.


A street running south side of Nagisa Park or Sogo Recreation Park is a corridor covered with Sakura Trees. They are planted from the east end to the west of the park. Passing by the west end, you reached at T-shaped junction, you turn to the right and you find a cross where pedestrian bridge named 'Sakurabashi' is over.

On the north of Gyosen Park, there is a athletic ground belonging to Ukita Park. So they are connecting together. There are lined sakura trees on the north of the ground, and three parks on the north have many sakura trees, too.




Now a road running from the west side of the ground goes to north and finally get to the south bank of Shinkawa River.



There are many sakura trees along both side of the river, so they are called Shinkawa Senbon Sakura that means 'a thousand sakura trees along Shinkawa River'. You could enjoy seeing them for an hour or more. And there are some noted spots along the river. Furukawa and Ichinoe Sakaigawa Water Park are connecting on the north bank of it.

You go to the north and find elevated lines of Toei Shijuku Line, then you pass through the lines and continue to ride by Funaboribashi Bridge.

Now you go up the bank and turn to the left at Fureaibashi bridge on the south of the the lined Sakura trees, you could find an elementary school before. You turn to the left and turn to the right the next corner, so you go on outskirt of the school, soon you reach at a shopping street running from JR Sobu Line Hirai Station. Then you turn to the left at the street. You could find the station before.
